UNIVERSITY OF THE FREE STATE | UNIVERSITEIT VAN DIE VRYSTAAT | YUNIVESITHI YA FREISTATA | 1 The University of the Free State (UFS) is one of the oldest institutions of higher education in South Africa. It opened its doors in 1904 in Bloemfontein as the Grey University College, with six students in the Humanities. Since then, the institution has grown to more than 39 000 students, spread over three campuses and across seven faculties (Economic and Management Sciences, Education, Health Sciences, the Humanities, Law, Natural and Agricultural Sciences, Theology and Religion). Most of the students are located on the Bloemfontein Campus, with the Qwaqwa Campus situated in the picturesque Eastern Free State, serving a rapidly-growing number of rural students from the immediate area and surrounding provinces. The South Campus – also situated in Bloemfontein – serves as the centre for distance-learning programmes offered by the UFS, as well as alternative access to higher education for promising students who have not obtained the required marks in their final school examinations. Over the years, the university has grown into an education hub which has positioned itself on the global stage, promoting research excellence, with exceptionally talented scholars and students who are recognised the world over, as well as alumni who have grown into influential leaders in society.

Dr Nthabeleng Rammile completed her Master’s in Services Marketing and her PhD in Brand Managementat the UFS, while having both her children. She was a full-time employee of the UFS from 2003 to 2014,was elected as member of the UFS Council from 1 January 2016, and was elected as Vice-Chairperson ofCouncil on 20 January 2017.

Marketing allowed Dr Rammile to combine her two interests: business and psychology. Her research focuswas on brands as entities, which do not only serve the purpose of identifying products and services, butalso communicates certain messages about the consumer. Her interest is in building theories and conceptsrelated to branding in order to improve marketing strategies.

While teaching Marketing to first-year and senior students, Dr Rammile always aimed to make teachingpractical. Therefore, she often involved the private sector to give students a ‘back-stage’ perspective ofvarious marketing strategies.

Besides teaching and marketing, Dr Rammile is a pastor at Global Reconciliation where she was ordainedin 2003. She is responsible for women’s ministry and community outreach. Through this, she aims to notonly see to people’s spiritual lives, but also promote a healthy, balanced lifestyle with the correct nutritionand exercise. In doing so, she hopes to encourage success in women’s business and family lives.

The Seanamarena – the traditional Basotho blanket.

The Main Procession graduation gowns –embroidered with rich diversity.

South Africa, and the Free State in particular, hasa long-standing friendship with our neighbouringcountry, Lesotho. Through a shared history, wehave become co-creators of our futures. For thisreason, the UFS decided to incorporate ourtradition with that of the Basotho in the designof our Main Procession graduation gowns.

The gowns are inspired by the Seanamarena –the traditional Basotho blanket. The differentpatterns on the Seanamarena indicate the statusone holds in the Basotho nation or reflect theoccasion being celebrated. Keeping theSeanamarena pattern in mind, we combined ourtraditional academic designs with that of theBasotho nation.

Page 15: About the UFS

Yoke pattern for the Chancellor and Vice-Chancellor

This Seanamarena pattern is an interpretation of a design – used exclusively for the king and chiefs –which means “to swear by the king”. This blanket has the highest status of all Basotho blankets.

Yoke pattern for Registrar

The same Seanamarena Poone design used for the Vice-Rector applies to the Registrar, with some slightdesign and colour alterations.

Yoke pattern for the Chairperson of the Council

This Seanamarena Victorian crest motif appeared after the visit of the Prince of Wales to Lesotho in 1925,which made a profound impression on the local people. Customers refer to this blanket as ‘lesiba’ – meaningfeathers – when buying it.
